Old Rivers - Walter Brennan[00:00:00]

How old was I when I first seen old Rivers [00:00:09]

I can't remember when he weren't around[00:00:13]

Well that old fellow did a heap of work[00:00:17]

Spent his whole life walking plowed ground [00:00:21]

He had a one-room shack not far from us[00:00:25]

And well we was about as poor as him[00:00:28]

He had one old mule he called Midnight[00:00:33]

And I'd trailed along after them [00:00:37]

He used to plow them rows straight and deep[00:00:41]

And I'd come along near behind[00:00:45]

A-bustin' up clods with my own bare feet[00:00:49]

Old Rivers was a friend of mine [00:00:53]

That sun'd get high and that mule would work[00:00:57]

Till old Rivers'd say ''Whoa ''[00:01:01]

He'd wipe his brow lean back on the reins[00:01:06]

And talk about a place he was gonna go [00:01:09]

Chorus:[00:01:13]

He'd say one of these days[00:01:13]

I'm gonna climb that mountain[00:01:15]

Walk up there amoung the clouds[00:01:17]

Where the cotton's high[00:01:21]

And the corn's a-growin'[00:01:23]

And there ain't no fields to plow [00:01:25]

I got a letter today from the folks back home and[00:01:38]

They're all fine and crops is dry[00:01:41]

Down at the end my mama said ''Son[00:01:46]

You know old Rivers died ''[00:01:50]

Just sittin' here now on this new-plowed earth[00:01:54]

Trying to find me a little shade[00:01:58]

With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see[00:02:02]

That mule old Rivers and me [00:02:05]

Chorus:[00:02:08]

Now one of these days[00:02:09]

I'm gonna climb that mountain[00:02:12]

Walk up there amoung the clouds[00:02:14]

Where the cotton's high[00:02:18]

And the corn's a-growin'[00:02:19]

And there ain't no fields to plow [00:02:22]

With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see[00:02:25]

That mule old Rivers and me[00:02:31]
